I would highly recommend Patty's place if you're looking for convenient location (walkable within 30 minutes to many popular areas) and simple no-frills accommodation at an excellent value. Patty was an incredibly communicative host, and would respond almost instantly to any questions we had (including recommendations and tips for restaurants, attractions and transportation). The place was clean and amenities were EXACTLY as described, which we really appreciated - no surprises or let downs! Her place is located down a series of small alleyways, so we mostly used a taxi that dropped us off / picked us up at the closest main intersection (2-minute walk or less). If you're using a taxi, you'll need to give directions to this drop-off point, not the actual accommodation (and Patty was very clear about that in the information she sent us in advance). We were looking for a simple place to sleep, shower and store our luggage while we explored Bangkok, and this fit that bill perfectly.
